The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1152
[Chapter 1152 Mission]
Perhaps it was because of the loud noise of the door closing when Lin Tian came in, which woke up the emperor. When Lin Tian looked at the emperor, the emperor just raised his head and met Lin Tian’s eyes. Not only was Lin Tian stunned, but the emperor was also stunned.
Then Lin Tian couldn’t help laughing, and the emperor wanted to kick Lin Tian out.
“Your Majesty, I am your humble servant. Long live the emperor.”
Lin Tian quickly stepped back two steps, bowed and saluted, and said to the emperor.
After hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor slowly pulled off the blanket on his body, then tidied his clothes, and said to Lin Tian with a calm face: “My dear Lin, please stand up.”
At the same time, the emperor picked up a memorial on the table in front of him and pretended to read it, trying to ignore Lin Tian. When Lin Tian saw the emperor like this, he deliberately moved forward, then deliberately stretched his neck and looked at the emperor from the side.
The emperor saw Lin Tian’s appearance at this time and had no intention of reviewing the memorials, so he put the memorials back on the table and then took a look at Lin Tian.
When Lin Tian saw the emperor put the memorials back on the table, he quickly stood up and pretended that he had not made any movements, without any intention of hiding anything.
“Oh, Lord Lin, you are here? How come you, a busy man, would think of coming to me?”
The emperor could only ask Lin Tian first. It seemed that the emperor was asking Lin Tian, but in fact he was blaming Lin Tian. Lin Tian obviously heard the meaning of the emperor’s words. His mind was working rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it.
“Your Majesty, then I spent three or four months to cultivate the seedlings of crops that need to be planted next year, and they are growing vigorously. As soon as I saw that their growth trend was very stable, I quickly took the time to come and report to Your Majesty. Please rest assured, Your Majesty.”
Lin Tian explained for the emperor. After hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor rolled his eyes, obviously not believing what Lin Tian meant. In fact, not to mention the emperor, even other officials in the court knew Lin Tian’s character.
Therefore, Lin Tian’s explanation was the same as not saying anything, and the emperor would not believe it at all.
“Oh? So, Lin Aiqing is now free?” After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor pinched his chin and thought for a while, and then without waiting for Lin Tian to answer, he hurriedly said to Lin Tian: “That’s just right, I still have some small things to deal with here, Lin Aiqing, please do it for me.”
“Ah?” After hearing the emperor’s words, Lin Tian was stunned at first, just when Lin Tian wanted to refuse, he heard the emperor continue to speak. After hearing the emperor’s words, Lin Tian couldn’t help but be stunned. Obviously, Lin Tian was obviously calculated by the emperor.
“Your Majesty, the seedlings in the greenhouse still need my careful cultivation. If something unexpected happens, I’m afraid that not only will it be difficult for me to explain, but it will also affect the problem of the people of Yan State planting this kind of crop next year.”
Lin Tian said to the emperor earnestly, and his face showed that he didn’t want to take the hard job given by the emperor.
“Oh, so that’s it.” After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor’s expression became awkward, and then he said to Lin Tian: “I originally planned to let you offset your merits and demerits. Since you don’t want to, are you ready to accept the punishment?”
“Ah? Your Majesty, what did I do wrong?” After hearing the emperor’s words, Lin Tian was obviously stunned, and his face was even more confused. Then he asked the emperor.
“Bold, you don’t even know what you did wrong. If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation today, are you being confiscated?”
After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor slapped the table and said loudly to Lin Tian.
“Okay, Your Majesty, there are no outsiders here. Why don’t you tell me what the matter is first, and then I will make a decision. Do you think it’s okay?” Lin Tian saw the emperor’s serious expression, so he said to the emperor with a smirk.
After seeing Lin Tian’s smirk, the emperor naturally knew that he was helpless against Lin Tian, because when Lin Tian came in just now, he saw him sleeping.
Although there was nothing wrong with the way he slept, if outsiders knew that he, as the ruler of Yan, had fallen asleep while reviewing memorials, wouldn’t his image as a ruler be ruined?
If Lin Tian went back and spread the news because he had punished him, wouldn’t he have let Lin Tian, a scourge, go for nothing? This was what the emperor was most worried about.
“Let me tell you where you were wrong first. Something like that happened in your fiefdom. Where were you? The villagers had all reported it to me. How do you want me to deal with it? And the most important thing is, wouldn’t you let the servants inform you when you came in? Even if you didn’t inform them, wouldn’t you knock on the door first?”
The emperor’s face was no longer serious, but he still had a preaching expression on his face and said to Lin Tian.
“Your Majesty, listen to my quibbling first… No, listen to my explanation first.”
When Lin Tian heard the emperor’s words, he was thinking about how to quibble, so when the emperor finished speaking, he just said it casually, but before he finished speaking, he felt that he was wrong, so he quickly changed his words.
After hearing what the emperor said, Lin Tian’s face darkened. He had thought of a reason to explain, but Lin Tian knew that even if he said it now, the emperor would not believe it.
“Your Majesty, I still won’t explain. Even if I explain, it’s probably the same as not explaining. Just tell me what you want me to do.”
Lin Tian could only speak to the emperor. After hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor smiled.
“Lord Lin is still so wise. Then listen to what I ask you to do. It’s almost New Year’s Day, but I still have a lot of memorials to review. I’m really exhausted.
I see that Lord Lin is quite free and has time to take girls out to play. Why don’t you share the burden for me and help me buy all the things I need for New Year’s Day? In this way, I don’t have to think about the best person for this matter.” The
emperor said to Lin Tian slowly, but after hearing what the emperor said, Lin Tian’s expression was not happy, because the previous Mid-Autumn Festival and the Autumn Harvest Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony were all organized by Lin Tian.
Although it was not handled by Lin Tian himself, Lin Tian handed it over to the Imperial Censor. Now the emperor has handed over the New Year’s Day purchases to Lin Tian. It is obvious that he wants to bother Lin Tian with these thankless tasks.
